Mike McCormack was named an assistant coach for the Brown
baseball program in October of 2012 after spending the previous
four years as an assistant coach under Jedd Soto at St.
Mary’s College of California, a Division I member of the West
Coast Conference. McCormack was elevated to the team's recruiting
coordinator in September 2014.

While at St. Mary’s, McCormack played a significant role
in every aspect of the baseball program, handling off-field
responsibilities and also working with the outfielders, hitters and
coaching first base. Over the course of his tenure, the Gaels had
their highest single-season win total since 1991, as well as their
first winning record since 2006. Ten position players received
All-West Coast Conference honors, including four outfielders, and
two received Freshman All-American honors. Infielder Troy Channing
won the West Coast Conference Triple Crown in 2009 and graduated in
2012 as the program’s all-time leader in home runs and runs
batted in. McCormack also aided in the development of four position
players who were drafted in Major League Baseball’s First
Year Player Draft. Outfielder Kyle Jensen (12th round, Miami
Marlins) and first baseman Anthony Aliotti (15th round, Oakland
Athletics) were selected in the 2009 draft, while infielder Patrick
Wisdom (1st round comp. A, St. Louis Cardinals) and catcher Toby
DeMello (27th round Seattle Mariners) were drafted in 2012.

McCormack has also honed his skills at the amateur and youth
level in both California and Massachusetts. He served as an
assistant coach for the Massachusetts Post 150 Greater Newburyport
American Legion team that competed in the 2008 Massachusetts State
Finals. He also assisted Team Northeast in Massachusetts’ Bay
State Games. While at St. Mary’s, he coached the Northern
California 13 and under team at the 2011 National Team
Identification Series in Cary, NC. He also coached the 14 and under
Danville Junior Hoots in the spring of 2012, leading them to
national rankings as high as seventh.

After spending his freshman year at the University of Rochester,
McCormack transferred to Worcester State University and was a
three-year letter winner in the outfield. He was a team captain of
the 2008 MASCAC Championship squad and NCAA New England Regional
team and was named the University’s Male Scholar-Athlete of
the Year during that same season. In 2010, McCormack was elected to
Worcester State’s All-Decade team. He graduated Cum Laude in
2008 with a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice.

A native of Newburyport, Massachusetts, McCormack was a three
sport athlete at Newburyport High School.
